What people are saying about the Serpent's Kiss

The Serpent's Kiss is my FAVORITE metaphysical shop for many reasons. They have so much to offer. They have great classes, workshops, concerts and have a strong sense of community and integrity. I have taken belly dance classes and really enjoyed them. I LOVE the oils, candles, stones, crystals, books, statues, jewerly, clothes, tarot cards, healing tools and so much more, but too much to mention. I always find intriguing items. They have excellent readers which is why they have been voted best psychic in Santa Cruz for the past few years. I always have EXCELLENT customer service. I LOVE THE SERPENTS KISS!

"In addition to recently receiving a wonderful Tarot reading from Didi at Serpent's Kiss, I have also had great customer service, always, since it opened and I wandered in one day.

In particular, I wanted to comment on my recent experiences using the handmade oils and candles – they are wonderful! You can tell the high quality of these magical goods. Something nice always happens when I am drawn into this store. I recommend dropping in and seeing all the new crystals, too. I found a very reasonably priced green opal for my collection."

"Serpent's Kiss is just about my favorite place in Santa Cruz! I've been going there for a number of years. Everything they carry is superb: from the candles and oils hand made by the owner Susan, to all the crystals, herbs, conjure supplies, belly dancing clothes and sparklies, statues, books and tarot/oracle decks and on and on...so many treasures. It's hard to imagine not finding what you need there no matter what path you walk. The people who work in the store, Didi and Wolf, are knowledgeable, compassionate and always willing to help. If you ever get a chance to attend one of their events...do it! They have well known musicians/artists and practitioners that teach a wide variety of things. Everyone at Serpent's Kiss is all about serving their community. And did I mention that their readers and the store consistently win the annual Good Times "Best of Santa Cruz" poll? I love this place!"
